Grizzlies vs Suns Prediction
The Suns are still missing a couple role players with Cody Martin and Monte Morris out, while the Grizzlies are still missing Luke Kennard, Jaren Jackson Jr and Santi Aldama. The Suns are getting desperate for wins and they were able to get a crucial one over the Mavericks last night, but it’s hard to get too excited about beating a team so depleted. The Grizzlies haven’t really been much better to be honest, but they are missing a key player in Jackson Jr, which evens out the field a bit. The Suns are capable of pulling off the upset on the road, but the Grizzlies are used to playing shorthanded, and I think they have enough firepower to get the job done at the modest line.
